People like this, Galaxy wars has been the only thing worth playing on the 360 for a while. Galatic Civ II on the PC has been a big success. This new distribution model cuts out the marketing muppet…
I will *emphasise* greatly that this is just a rumour at the moment. I've been pondering on whether I should even post about this yet when a lot more details are needed, but I guess if we can get some solid confirmation via the comments section as a result of this news item then that would help stop the second guessings...
